Comment : Corne de Sorebois has several cable cars, so it's going to be crowded at the summit, the way between Grimentz and Tsirouc is used by downhill mountainbikers coming from Sorebois so expect some, the T4 between Tsirouc to Corne de Sorebois isn't hard but you climb on large rocks it's not a standard walk, gloves recommended and please don't bring 5y old kids like I saw >< they are smaller than the rocks, they can't climb, it's irresponsible, the path above Lac de Moiry is beautiful, has lots of torrents crossing it with fresh water but don't be fooled by the elevation profile it's very long and not flat at all ! you go up and down all the time, lac chateaupré with it's glacier were beautiful too but I was too late and it was getting dark...had to go back to Grimentz by night with a headlamp, the length made that hike very difficult but it has no especially physical segment even the T4 is "light" it's a gorgeous hike but yeah not for casuals I took almost 800 pictures that day awesome views, last picture taken at 22h 10PM so you understand that it's pitch black there at night, I had to go all the way down to the lights, without a properly charged headlamp there was no way, please don't go on 11hrs hikes without the proper equipement, btw the hiking path below the hydro dam is where cows sleep at night, there were 100+ of them all staring at me the scary intruder it wasn't looking good so for their and my security I took the road instead
